A process of forming a lateral PNP transistor includes the steps of: providing a chip of semiconductor material including an isolated N- device region; implanting N dopant material at a relatively low power and low dosage into a selected implant region of the device region; implanting N dopant material at a relatively higher power and higher dosage into the implant region; and forming emitter and collector regions in the device region such that an intrinsic base region is defined between the collector and emitter regions in the implant region.
